ABC released a promotional video in which “The Bachelor” contestant, Bri, puts on a fake Australian accent when meeting Colton Underwood, the bachelor.

Fans had mixed reactions with some supporting her methods to get ahead and others calling her out for lying so early on in the show.

Many fans are just wondering if she will continue the accent throughout the season.

Season 27 of “The Bachelor” premieres on Monday.

They say all is fair in love and war and nowhere does that sentiment ring truer than on “The Bachelor,” where contestants are known to do anything they can to compete against multiple other women for the attention of one potential future beau.

Ahead of the premiere of the 27th season, ABC released a promo on Thursday in which one contestant, Bri, decided to put on a whole new identity to woo bachelor Colton Underwood.

The video released on the Bachelor’s Twitter account shows Bri meeting Underwood for the first time. She greets him with a noticeable accent. Underwood says “You’ve got a nice accent, where are you from?” and Bri replies, “The accent. It’s Australian. I was hoping that you were kind of a sucker for accents.”

The real kicker is when she leaves Underwood and the video cuts to a solo interview in which Bri, in an American accent, confirms she’s not Australian, but “you have to do what you can to stand out.”

Understandably, fans had some mixed reactions to the faux accent.

Some were not cool with it, saying Bri was starting off a potential relationship with a lie

This is a huge red flag for me. If you can lie about something like that, you can lie about anything.
